Do we have time for a diarrhea update?

**SPEAKER_2** (0:03)
I'm sorry, what update?

**SPEAKER_1** (0:07)
I'm sorry, an explosive diarrhea update.
So, there's this parasitic infection. It's called cyclosporasis, and it's in Michigan, it's in Ohio. It's this infection that's causing, and I'm using the AP's quote, explosive diarrhea. Intestinal infections. They've seen a big rise in that this week, particularly in Michigan, where health officials have reported 572 cases.

What is explosive diarrhea?

**SPEAKER_1** (0:50)
I don't know what it is. I find that very hard to believe.

**SPEAKER_2** (1:00)
I know what it is. I know you know what it is. I'm wondering if that's a medicinal term, because it's in the headlines of newspapers, because I've seen this.

**SPEAKER_1** (1:12)
I feel like if you call it by the proper name, cyclosporosis, you're also allowed to say explosive with it. It's an increase from the 170 reported cases five days earlier. Now, typically, the state of Michigan only sees about 50 cases of cyclosporosis each year. But the numbers are going through the roof in Michigan and in Ohio, 177 cases.
So if it's in Michigan, if it's in Ohio, there's no doubt in my mind it's probably here in Indiana, right?

**SPEAKER_2** (1:49)
It's already here. I got news for you. I got to... Can we cut the break, please?

**SPEAKER_1** (1:55)
It's the Hammer and Nigel Show.
